Wednesday 30th January, Monday 4th February

Last Tuesday I walked by the Peregrine Watch, and there were two Peregrines perched over in the Oak trees opposite, one flew briefly round the gorge and over the river, to land back in the same place. The next day when I cycled past there was a single bird in the tree. Today (Monday) a female Peregrine took off from the cliff below, flew round in a big circle, and back to the cliff. maybe all small signs that they are starting to nest. There was a Curlew and a few Redshank on the estuary mud this morning, sharing the mud with a large group of Gulls.
